<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I made the change to the install.bat file as I
understood it and can only say that it didn't work. I will include it in
its current state so that someone can determine if I have misread or overlooked
something. I am beginning to suspect something more fundamental with the
computer itself. Right now though, here is the install.bat file from the
Debian disks area with the modification to specify the serial port. Keep
in mind that in install.bat, it is all on one line.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am attempting to do this with no speech program
or synthesizer driver program loaded so I have no way of knowing what is going
on on the screen so I don't know what additional information I can get to help
solve this problem. I am prepared to look at bios settings but I have no
idea of how to access them or if I can do it at all without some sighted
assistance. I don't like continuing to bore you all with this
problem. Thanks much for all the helpful and friendly comments. I
hope that we can figure out what is going on with this so I can see what Linux
is like with speech and begin to write my own programs.</FONT></DIV>
